Picture this... you're driving along when suddenly an oncoming car drifts into your lane. You're about to have a head-on collision... what do you do?

Crash avoidance techniques are pre-planned maneuvers that can help you stop a crash from occurring all together.

Allan Kirk is the CEO of the New Zealand Motorcycle Safety Consultants and he's here to give us some tips on what to do in these situations.
